"Well," said John, "at any rate that does
not look like foul play unless indeed, he has
gone on to prepa' a warm reception for us"
jess shrugged her shoulders; she could not
make it out; aud then they settled themselves
down to their long and lonely drive. They
had forty odd miles 20 cover but the guides,
or rather the guard, would only consent to
their outspanning once, which they did on
the open veldt little before sunset At sun
down they inspanned again and started across
the darkening veldt The road was in a
shocking state, and until the moon got up.
which it did about O'Clock, the journey was
both difficult and dangerous After that
things were little better; and at last, about
II O'Clock, they got into Heidelberg. The
town seemed almost deserted. Evidently the
great body of the Beers were at the front and
had only left guard at their seat of govern
ment

CHAPTER XXI.

They had just finished their meal, and were
about to leave the table, when suddenly the
door opened, and who should appear at it but
Frank Muller himself. There was no mis-
take about him; there he stood, stroking his
long, golden beard, as big, as handsome, and,
to jess mind, as evil looking as ever. The
cold eyes fell upon John with a glance of rec
ognition, and then something like smile be
gan to play round the corners of the fine cut,
cruel mouth. Suddenly, however, his gaze
lit upon the two Beers, one of whom was
picking his teeth with a steel fork and the
other lighting his pipe within few inches of
jess head, aad Instantly bis face grew stern

Some Very Curious Wills.

The wills deposited and recorded in
the Orphans Court of Baltimore City
from a very interesting collection
The oldest on record is that of Thom
as Todd, dated February 26th, 1875,
and proved May 30th, 1917, before
Philip Calvert, commissionary or regis
ter. The prologue, as in nearly all
the old wills, recites that ''Thomas
Todd, being weeke in body, but
in perfect memory, praised be Almigh-
tie God, my blessed Saviour, into whose
hand ] commit my soule, hoping for
salvation through his merits" He
makes his son, Thomas Todd, executor,
and gives to his wife. Ann Todd, 400
pounds sterling, now lying in old man
Richard Booths hands in London. >
He also gives legaces to his ''daftters,
Ann, Johanna, Frances and Eyerlea.-
The spelling in the old wills Is very
curious. The original papers are all
preserved in the vaults. 1t requires
1913 tin boxes, averaging about 80 to a
box, to hold them. The records fill
large quarto volumes of about 600
pages each. These documents contain
the bases of the titles to much of the
real estate of Baltimore city and cOun-
ty. Nearly all of the old wills contain
devises of slaves. Many provide for
the manumission of slaves. Some OF
the wills make curious requests as to
funerals. Aaron Cookshaw' will, PROV
ed June 9th, 1852, says: 81 want as
little expense incurred as possible-a
pine coffin, or an old hogshead, is inn
material to ME. Some matters will
not affect my final state. No head or
footstone necessary shall be found
at the last trump. There is one point

THE DESTINY OF MAN.

EY pR. ADDISON ALEXANDER.
There Is Il time we know not when,
a point we know not where,
That marks the destiny OF man
To glory Or despair.
There is a lire by us unseen,
That crosses every path
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience and HIS wrat IA
10 pass that limit is to die
TO die. aS il by stealth
1t does not quench the beaming eve,
or pain the glow Of health.
The conscience may he still at ease.
The spirit light and gay.
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care he thrust away.
But ON that forehead Go has C.
lndellii,ly mark.
Unseen by man. for man a yet
Is blind and in the dark.
oh . where is this mysterious bourne,
Hy which our path is crossed.
Beyond which God himself hath sworn.
That he who goes is lost
How far may we go on in sin.
How long will God torbear"
Where does hope end and where hegin
The confines OF despair"
An answer from the skies is sent
We that from God depart,
While it is called to-day. repent,
And harden not your heart.

The Sentiment of Warren County.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Your comments on the agreement" under
which the joint convention was held yesterday
to vote for a United States Senator, do not ex-
press half the disappointment and humiliation
felt by the Republicans Up to that point every
moral advantage was with the Republicans, and
what the motives could have been to cause them
to weaken at the critical time is something the
people will require explained in the most salts
factory manner. Every move made by the Sen
ate has been in utter disregard of law and the
usage of legislative bodies-the simple exercise
of brute force backed by numberS-while the
acts of the lower house have been strictly
within the law. After making fight so credit
able to them as body and as individual
members, it is strange that they
should throw away all advantages gained. They
were on bed rock and could well afford to main
taintain their rights both as legislative BODY
and a party. If election, fairly entered
into by both parties. and approved and voted on
by the whole people of the State, is to be nuli-
fed by a mob Of lawless partisans, acting as
Senators, and that to defeat the will of the peo-
pie, it is high time that such proceedings should
be rebuked. 1t is shame that any Republican,
acting in the capacity of representative of the
people, should so far ignore his manhood and the
responsibilities Of his position, to be party
to. or in any way recognizne an agreement
that sanctions or approves the usurpation of
Green Smith. VOTER

Permit me, on behalf of all the Republicans of
Clinton county, TO thank you for the simon pure
Republican editorials in to-day's Journal The
masses of our party cannot comprehend the
causes for the change that has come over the
managers of our party in the Legislature We
have been told from day to day that SEN
ator Smith was a usurper. If he was. what
right had those who represent US to recognize
usurperl The question at issue is
one vital to national life ITSELF
and the who responsible
for placing the Republican party in the false
position it occupies to-day guilty of mighty
wrong to those they misrepresented In the
face of the unanimous Republican vote of Tues
day, in the House. whereby they resolved to
recognize only acknowledgements Robertson
presiding officer at the senatorial convention,
Republicans here want to know how any self
respecting Republican member of the House
could, even for one moment, permit
usurper Smith to preside. So far as
Clinton county Republicans concerned-they
repudiate the compromise, and beg you to speak
bold true and brave words for the right. They
will have no part parcel in this great wrong
upon their rights odemand that the honestly
expressed will ofEhe people be carried into
execution instead of the dictum of gang at In
dianapolis who nave kept Smith in Robertsons
seat in open and notorious violation OF law.
The Republicans of Clinton county are unit in
favor of a manly. legal fight for law and
order. and in favor of recognizing only
Lieutenant governor Robertsons right to pre-
side in the Senate. II the party is not agreed
upon this course--if the House resolution is a
lie and farce-then let them resign aud 60
